After the joke began, Grand Duke Bruce asked solemnly.

"Are you going to perform a sacrifice next?"

After all, this involves the existence of high positions, and their appearance often means inevitable disasters.

"Otherwise, we must have a means to counteract at a critical moment."

The head of the Order looked at him steadily, he knew Archduke Bruce's concern, and his eyes looked out the window at the already dark sky.

The rain was still falling, and the light of the silver moon could not penetrate the heavy clouds.

A candle flame lit silently, dispelling the darkness and illuminating a small area.

"Or we'll retreat and retreat?"

"It's not in line with your greedy and selfish style, and it's not in line with my character."

The head of the Order felt the raindrops blowing through the window, and the cold wetness slid down his cheeks.

At this moment, he is extremely conscious.

"You don't have to worry about affecting the Empire."

"This is no man's land, there are no people for thousands of miles, and his anger can only be vented on me."

"And most of God is tolerant of believers, so that we can be content to please Him and have a good relationship with Him."

The sturdy and tall body sheltered the cold wind blowing into the house, and the faint flames inside swayed, but did not extinguish.

"Grand Duke Bruce, do you know the Holy See?"

"Hmph, I know that I'm not deaf."

Grand Duke Bruce snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with the fact that the Captain of the Order regarded him as an idiot.

"They have inevitably slipped from the top of the world since they have experienced several major disasters."

"It may be a long time, but it's something that everyone can foresee."

"And do you know how many times the Holy See has sacrificed to the Lord of Radiance so far?"

The Knights' leader's voice was very low, and there seemed to be a hint of confusion.

Grand Duke Bruce frowned, he really didn't pay attention to this.

How many times it was sacrificed, who remembers.

And the Holy See will no longer choose to sacrifice openly.

It is impossible to say that they will also be like the people in front of them, and they will carry out multiple sacrifices in unknown places to increase the success rate.

"So how many times do you know?"

"The number of papal sacrifices...... About a hundred to one hundred and fifty."

Faced with his question, the regimental commander gave the answer.

"Hiss......"

When Grand Duke Bruce heard this, he was immediately shocked, clenched his cane, and couldn't help but gasp.

He knew that the Holy See would hold sacrifices, but he did not expect that it would be held so many times.

In the face of the answer given by the regimental commander, Grand Duke Bruce did not suspect that his data was fraudulent.

These things can be predicted by carefully examining the traces.

"Are there so many?"

"Yes, no more, no less."

"They're really ...... It's ......."

Bruce shook his head, and for a moment his head couldn't remember any words to describe it, and he didn't know what to say.

"It's unreasonable, I can't understand why it's so crazy, is it?"

The head of the regiment picked up the topic, and then said calmly.

"I was shocked when I saw the stats, but you can tell if you think about it."

"There is no way back for the Holy See......

His tone seemed to carry a touch of irrepressible sorrow.

When you say this, it seems to be talking about someone else, and it seems to be talking about yourself.

"Their greatest reliance, in addition to the thousand-year-old heritage, is the gods they believe in."

"In the case that there are already other gods who are manifestly holy, especially if that god is still the Lord of Twilight."

"The Holy See can only pray for the coming of the Lord of Light now, or else you can still count on it

Can they change their door?"

"Who on the continent doesn't know now that the Holy See is the most devout organization for the Lord of Light."

Grand Duke Bruce's old eyes flashed, and then he said.

"But after hundreds of sacrifices, hasn't even a single Lord of Light come?"

"If it comes, you see what the Holy See will be like now, and I can't say that even the ambition to unify the continent will breed."

Grand Duke Bruce thought about the still cowering look of the Holy See recently, it really didn't look like a successful sacrifice.

"None of them succeeded, are you so sure you can succeed?"

"That's the Holy See going in the wrong direction, and it's not good."

The regimental commander turned his head to look at Archduke Bruce with a hint of curiosity and grinned.

"They can only sacrifice to one god."

"And do you know how many gods I sacrificed? How many altars are there?"

"As long as there is a response, it will be enough."

"It's a pity that the biggest problem now is that we can't find a way to stabilize the sacrifice, but we have to explore this slowly."

He paused, then braced his hands on the edge of the window.

"But it's actually a helpless move."

"If we don't solve the problem of Desmond City before the queen, then we will have to endure this situation in the future."

"A woman also wants to get into power......

The head of the regiment sneered, and with a slight force of his hands, the part that came into contact with the window edge directly turned into powder.

"It is absolutely impossible for a woman to be in power, otherwise the power would not have fallen into her hands, but would have gone to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"But then we won't have to go to great lengths to find good noble heirs."

"The current offspring, it's really worse than the other......

The regimental commander glanced at the sighing Grand Duke Bruce, and did not point out the careful thoughts of their nobles.

He served the emperor of the empire.

As for who the king is, it depends on the ultimate winner.

However, he didn't like the queen to be in power, so he chose to side with the nobles.

As one of the representatives of the Empire's armed forces, he was already unable to stay out of the situation when the two forces were fighting for that position.

Even if he doesn't step in, his subordinates, family, and friends ...... will also be used by people with intentions, and then use this to force him to take sides.

Biggs, I hope you don't fall too deep like me.

……

The next day, Desmond City.

"Hey work, morning."

"It's not early, it's already past nine o'clock, and I haven't eaten yet."

Two acquaintances meet on the street and greet each other.

"Did you wake up last time?"

"Awakening? What awakening?"

"You were so happy that day that you even said you didn't know about awakening?"

"I...... I don't really know what awakening is, I don't know if it's the case that there's a force in my body."

「…… Haha, job, you're kidding."

"Ah, I'm not kidding, I do feel like I've been a lot lighter lately."

"Ah...... Haha, work, you can fool me, don't fool yourself. It doesn't matter if I'm deceived by you, just play haha. But I hope you wipe the corners of your eyes after saying this, so that the tears don't fall. I don't believe what you say. It can also give you some comfort, but this kind of thing is almost right to deceive people, I believe you won't lose a piece of meat, but you just don't take yourself seriously. It really doesn't matter if I'm deceived by you, and the smile will pass. It's really not that I want to break your defenses, you wipe your tears and think about it, who else but me will believe your words?"

One of them stiffened his tone and said something muddy.

"I didn't lie to you!"

Other than that

One of them was in a hurry to pull his arm, making him feel as if he was being pulled by a cow.

"Oh, shit! Get out of the way! Take it away!"

"I don't believe it, why are you awake and I don't feel anything......

Darren watched the scene on the street and fell into deep thought.

He knew that after the last incident, some people had awakened the talent of a warlock, or other type of talent.

But many more people don't feel anything.

Although this strengthened the strength of the Dusk Order, it also made some people unable to balance their hearts because of this.

Obviously, a few days ago, everyone was still the same ordinary person.

But now, why do you have the opportunity to become a Warlock, and I remain where I am?

Darren knows that not only a few people think so, and most people will have a little bit of a complaint in their hearts.

It's just that these complaints will not be revealed on weekdays, but buried deep in the heart.

They may dissipate over time, or they may grow deeper and deeper, all the way to a notched mark on the heart.

What Darren did may not be rational, but he doesn't regret it.

Because all need a chance.

Even if this chance is very slim, it is enough to change the fate of many people.

Watching them play around is like a joke.

Darren sighed slightly.

Fortunately, this imbalance is not put on the surface, but more of a simple envy.

Now he needed to pull the reins of this envy and not let it slide to the bottom of the slope of resentment.

As for how to do it, it is extremely necessary to test Darren's ability.

But after going through so many things, he won't be in a hurry because of this.

Now the Order of Twilight is not just supported by Darren, he also has many like-minded followers following in his footsteps.

Together with Darren, these fellow believers will support the good and orderly development of the Dusk Order.

Calculate the time, and the cold winter is about to become a thing of the past.

Warm spring can already see a trace of active shadows.

He turned and walked towards the center of the city for an internal meeting of the Twilight Order.

Darren didn't use his mysterious powers, just walked on his legs.

The footsteps are slow and powerful, measuring the size between people and life.

As he walked to the center of the city, the sun was already shining.

Darren soaked up the sunlight and slowly pushed the door open.

"Squeak......

There was a gut-wrenching sound from the door, followed by the sound of a brush.

At this moment, all the worshippers who participated in the meeting stood up, their eyes fixed on the figure who pushed the door open.

The light passed through his back, and it was as if he had pushed open the door to heaven.

When he entered, he met the eyes of all the disciples.

Among these eyes, there are those who admire, those who admire, those who are happy, those who are indifferent, and those who resent......

But in the face of these emotionally mixed eyes, Darren just calmly stepped onto the high platform.

Glancing around, he saw that the nobles were one area, and the commoners were another.

The two are distinct and disconnected.

Darren only raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.

Then all the congregants sat down and began today's meeting with them.

Build your own city!

The meeting lasted for a long time, and it was not until sunset that the doors reopened.

Countless gossip followed.

However, most of the news was that the Dusk Order was about to leave here, which undoubtedly shocked and reluctantly many people.

After all, they have lived in the city for so long and felt such a good life for the first time.

They are afraid that when they leave here, they will fall back into the same kind of food they used to have

, the days of unclothed clothes.

It had only been since the Order of Twilight had come that they had discovered that life could be so wonderful.

There is no cold, no hunger, no pervasive oppression.

The Order of Twilight truly treats them as human beings!

Not slaves and animals.

But they all knew who brought it here, and they had a history of it, and they were confident that the Order of Dusk would lead them to a better life.

A significant portion of them were the original old men of the Twilight Order.

They have witnessed the growth of the Order of the Twilight, and they have participated in it and worked hard for it.

Those who were worried were the newcomers who joined Desmond after the battle.

Although his life has improved with the help of the Order of Twilight, his confidence in him is not very high, and he is still worried.

However, according to the old men's accounts and the deeds of the Order of Twilight, this part of the people expressed their willingness to leave Desmond City and build their own home together.

And those who were willing to leave with them were actually some civilians who had originally lived in Desmond City.

They felt that compared to the original rulers, life was better after the arrival of the Order of Twilight.

These people are not fools, they have seen everything the Order of Twilight has done in their eyes and experienced it firsthand.

Therefore, they have expressed their willingness to contribute to the construction of the city.

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are sad.

The nobles, on their part, had no problem with the Dusk Order leaving Desmond City.

It's just that I'm struggling with whether to continue to follow the Order of Dusk, or stay here and return to the embrace of the Mass Empire.

After going through so many things, the nobles also understood that the future development direction of the Dusk Order would inevitably not be tilted to their side.

In other words, you will not be able to get preferential treatment, and even the convenience of being a mystic warlock will gradually disappear.

Darren didn't care about their attitude.

What he was afraid of was the handful of nobles who spied on the Dusk Order.

They are delusional in their desire to turn the power of the Order of Twilight into their own, and even to deceive the great Lord of Twilight.

This made Darren extremely angry, but he didn't attack on the spot, but secretly remembered it in his heart.

The Order is forever subordinate to the Great Lord of Twilight.

This is a fact that no one can change.

If you want to use the Order of Dusk, you must first step over your own corpse!
